Joys of Pregnancy

Women are amazing creations. God must have put a stubborn or maybe just forgetful place in the brain for us when it comes to babies. I mean we grow up hearing the horrors of labor, delivery, and after birth affects. YET, there are tons and tons of babies being born every day.

Here are some of the "joys" I have been experiencing about this pregnancy.

* Cannot sit normal more than three minutes, then it is time to change position. Making me look more like I have ants crawling in my pants, then normal.

* Pregnancy glow or what I mean to say... bags under the eyes (whoever is blessed with this so called "glow"... Can I say LUCKY!

* As soon as my bladder is completely relieved and empty, my stomach has the WORST feeling it has to be filled again to compensate. Oh yeah, by filled, I mean two bites, because that is all it can handle.

*When I get comfortable enough to fall asleep and am about to FINALLY get some rest, my bladder starts calling to me and the cycle above starts to repeat.

* If I try to do anything to fast I either hurt, my muscle gets pulled, or worse... muscle CRAMP.

* Oh yeah, Moodiness... enough said!


I could probably go on and on, but to be honest I have one of the least complicated pregnancies compared to the majority. I am not saying all of this to complain, but rather share that I literally went through all of this a little over four years ago, but I STILL could not wait to go through it again.

Why is that? Simply because the minute you see the little miracle you bring into the world, everything you went through, every sleepless night, every single cramp, every single nauseous feeling you have had is all of the sudden totally worth it and not a bit regretted.

 I am so excited to see our little guy in less than three months. I would do this over again if I had to, because I already love him. Every time I start to feel sick or rethink why I wanted this I feel him kick or move and know that I have the biggest blessing growing inside of me. That is when I feel so blessed that God has given me the opportunity to be a woman... In some ways I feel sorry for men... They will never be able to feel the most amazing, beautiful thing on earth inside them... LIFE! That is why women are amazing creations!


Complete pain....

What pain? Never happened!
